I literally tweeted about this this morning. They’re coming for no-fault divorce. Ladies, you need to read up on what life was like before no-fault divorce. This will be terrifying for women who don’t have the money or connections to make it through the justice system
Most women think their partner will be reasonable in a divorce. A lot of women are dead wrong. Divorce brings out the worst in people.
If this actually happens, I will discourage every person I know from getting married

I am very conflicted by this piece.
Yes, we use our phones/ social media too much. But social media is what burst my white bubble. Social media is where I listened to voices outside my background and experience.
This discussion needs more nuance. nytimes.com/2022/12/15/sty…
You can be a luddite and find community if you're a Brooklyn teen.
It's harder if you're a teen in rural Kentucky.
Or a disabled person in Montana.
Or an organizer in Iran.
We need tech literacy. And respect for how ableism, classism etc. inflitrates these discussions.

So last week, my family was out of town on what was supposed to be my first real vacation since March 2020, and we all contracted COVID. We were exposed by an unmasked family member prior to our trip. It was an absolute nightmare, but I hope this thread might help someone:
First: we mask everywhere. We quarantined before. We drove over the course of two days and never spent more than 5 minutes (masked) inside any public space. We stayed in a hotel with portable air purifiers with HEPA filters we brought from home. We were as careful as possible.

I just realized that the marriage discourse is because of this.
We live in a country with failing social supports, rampant gun violence, starving children, abortion access on the precipice of destruction.
Please, for the love of God, stop telling people to leave states like Texas and Florida. The privilege is breathtaking.
If you truly think it's that easy, then it's just as easy for you to move in and help out.
Imagine if people from heavily blue white utopias moved into areas where Black people, queer people, immigrants and trans ppl have been fighting for years - oh, like the South - and helped transform local government.
What a thought

I wish we talked more about the profound loneliness that comes with being partnered with the wrong person.
Whenever I feel lonely, I remind myself of that past, of how every part of me felt misunderstood or invisible or wrong.
The right people don’t make you feel that way.
There is an ease and comfort with the right people. It may take time, but you can open yourself to them without judgement.
The right people accept you for who you are and help support you as you work to become a better version of yourself.
